About the Item
Mitsumasa Kadota’s "Imaginary" (2024) is an evocative composition that captures the essence of movement, depth, and transformation. This piece, created using acrylic and carborundum on cotton, is a testament to the artist’s ability to manipulate color and texture to create a visual experience that transcends the static nature of traditional painting. The title, "Imaginary", suggests an invitation into a world shaped by perception—one where fluid motion and layered hues evoke endless interpretations.
Kadota’s mastery of gestural abstraction is evident in "Imaginary". The painting features sweeping, interwoven strokes of golden yellow, deep violet, and rich burgundy, intersected by crisp whites and muted greens. These colors do not simply coexist; they fold into one another, creating a dynamic sense of movement that makes the surface feel alive.
The incorporation of carborundum enhances the painting’s textural complexity, allowing certain areas to catch and diffuse light differently depending on the viewer’s angle. This results in a shifting visual effect, where some forms appear to recede while others seem to emerge—a testament to Kadota’s skill in creating depth within the two-dimensional plane.
Kadota’s works have been exhibited at renowned institutions such as Lincoln Center in New York and the Sezon Museum of Modern Art in Japan. His approach to abstraction, rooted in both material experimentation and emotional depth, has made his paintings highly regarded in contemporary art circles.
"Imaginary", created in 2024, is a striking example of Kadota’s ongoing exploration of perception and movement. The scale of this piece (91.2 × 65.2 cm) allows for an intimate yet powerful engagement, making it suitable for collectors who appreciate works that evolve and shift with time and light.
In person, "Imaginary" conveys a mesmerizing sense of fluidity. The paint appears to have been applied in sweeping motions, creating a surface that feels both spontaneous and carefully composed. The contrast between bold strokes of color and the soft, undulating transitions between them adds to the painting’s depth.
The carborundum-infused texture introduces a subtle roughness in select areas, contrasting with the smooth gloss of the acrylic, which allows the painting to interact dynamically with light. This interplay gives the work a shifting, almost kinetic quality, revealing new details depending on the angle and time of day.
Kadota’s "Imaginary" is a captivating work that blends the artist’s signature movement, depth, and material experimentation. With its layered complexity and ever-changing visual engagement, it stands as a distinctive addition to any collection—an artwork that continually offers new perspectives with each viewing.
